@DennisSemrau Any updates, Dennis?

@Josh_theJaysFan Bisons posted their roster for tonight. Doesn't look like much more movement on trades.

@SteeleThoughts And be specific about what's appreciated. "Thank you for all you do" is nails on a chalkboard. Criticism is specific. Praise should be too.

@MHSCardsSoccer Go, Cards! Keep playing to the max of your ability.

@ConferringCarl @CorwinPress Carl, I crafted high-interest writing workshop units that lead to huge volumes of writing, with craft & conventions we learned from reading. Kids saw themselves as writers. We built up to fantasy with so much planning before drafting that the stories spilled out.

It's gone now.

Congratulations, @alanster28 ! We've been keeping tabs on you all season. Well deserved honor!

I accomplished significantly more ALONE than while working in groups all week. We've gotta appreciate multiple styles and preferences to get the best out of everyone. One style doesn't fit all.

@ReganLYates @GSchultek Yep, there used to be awesome conversations, learning, and sharing. Now it's mostly influencers and preaching. So many ways to teach and learn. Old Twitter chats added lots of tools to my kit, and I could add too.

@SteeleThoughts Learn the assets of every person in your building.

@Coach_Pertz I was hoping he'd get called to Toronto for the series against the Brewers. He getting closer.

@ConferringCarl @HeinemannPub I 100% agree with you, have seen it work over and over, and am so sad to see it abandoned by far too many places.

[Chris Conohan @ChrisConohan]

@THEbadgermaniac I'd bet there's all kinds of backchanneling and positioning so players know who is going where.

[Chris Conohan @ChrisConohan]

@MrsRteaches I don't disagree, but it feels like this should be an "and" that is being treated as an "or". I think there are multiple variables and each have important value.

[Chris Conohan @ChrisConohan]

Could reading issues be cured by putting down devices, reading increasingly deeper and longer texts including chapter books, and reading to/with kids more at earlier ages? I notice stamina, concepts about print, and basic spacing of characters diminished. Experience would help.

[Chris Conohan @ChrisConohan]

@MrsRteaches Yep, I see this affecting students a lot this year. I'd like to see graphic novels limited as well. I see stronger analysis in read aloud. On one's own, the analysis and comprehension is mixed. I see other variables making outcomes predictable.

[Chris Conohan @ChrisConohan]

What would happen if we stopped using age-based grade levels?
